There Is No God Save Allah

LESSON
# 337 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

There
Is No God Save Allah

Surah
‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)

Verse
– 18 of
200, Section –2 (Part – 3)

Allah
(Himself) is witness that there is no God save Him, and the angels and the
men of learning (too are witness), maintaining His creation with justice.
There is no God save Him the Almighty, the Wise.

Shahi-dallaahu – (Allah is witness), this evidence of Allah Almighty has been using
to come regularly in the Heavenly Scriptures. Besides this, every particle of the
universe is testifying that none is worthy of worship save Lord of the entire
worlds. Testimony of Divine’s Scriptures has prestige of written evidence and the
entire things of earth and sky (universe) provide reasonable evidence. As though,
both types of proofs exist (logical and written).

al-malaaa-‘ikatu - (Angles), it means that the Angles (peace be upon
them) also testify that none is worthy of worship save Allah Almighty. As though
it has been cleared too that the Angels (themselves) (peace be upon them) sing
the songs of Oneness of Allah Almighty, who are considered by the Idolater
Nations as gods and goddesses.

‘ulul-‘ilmi - (the men of learning, the educated, the scholars),
‘ilm means to know and understand. Knowledge is not only the name
of learning the letters and reading the books, but it is the name of knowing
the facts of things and cognition of the reality. Either it is by meditation or
by experiments and observations. Therefore, ‘ulul-‘ilmi means those educated people who have capability
to know about the facts and ability to recognize.

In the beginning
of this verse, Christians of Syria (Najraan)
were addressed, and it was proclaimed in a very well manner about Oneness of
God and by proving to be wrong the faith of divinity of the Christ. Other matters were also discussed at that time
which prevent from believing in Oneness of Allah Almighty, for example, wealth,
children and the things of luxurious enjoyment. Then attributes of the
Believers were described, who remain firm on Right despite all these obstacles.
After this, discussion about Oneness has begun again.

What
difficulty can be occurring to believe in Oneness while Allah Almighty (Himself)
is witness through His work (Nature) besides His Scriptures that only He is
worthy to be worshiped. Besides this His Angles (peace be upon them) and the
men of learning also testify about Oneness of Allah Almighty. Not having belief
in Oneness and standing firm on belief in a plurality of Allah is clearly Ignorance.

Allah
Almighty has explained by telling His Virtue, “qaaa-‘imam- bil-qist” (maintaining His creation with justice) that the
talk about Expiation by Christians is untrue, because how can it be possible
that only one person is settled responsible for the sins of the entire
community and he causes to be released them all by being punished alone. On the
contrary, Allah Almighty maintains His creation with justice. He will confer
complete retaliation of the acts (good or bad) of each person.
